I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of one familiar genre or another. ↗

I remember as a kid having the offer of a scholarship, that it was going to be like going to Mars, and deciding to stay in my public school. ↗

I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up. ↗

I'm fascinated by the ways in which people express themselves, because their responses are often counter to what they're actually feeling. Like when they're frightened, they tend to freeze. When they're angry, it doesn't always come out as volume. There are wonderful contradictions in the way that people express their emotions. ↗

I've always liked the idea of taking old dramatic ideas and devices and making them feel relevant or contemporary or whatever. ↗

In drama, I think, the audience is a willing participant. It's suspending a certain kind of disbelief to try to get something out of a story. ↗
